when I closed my eyes, I was so surprised

First up: Welcome aboard, friending-meme types!In other news, I have my Yuletide assignment and it is EPIC. I get to work from scraps of information, which is one of my absolute favorite things to do ever. It's also a bit of a challenge, since my typical writing style is very [thing]-heavy and the character my recip asked for can't [thing], so: writing workout!But considering I'm within sight of the minimum word count and nowhere near through everything I think this story's going to cover, I'd say it's going well.I'll be poking at it and perhaps some treats during election shenanigans tomorrow. (Reminder to the US types reading this: GO VOTE, if you haven't already. DO IT.)

Yeah, well. That's how it rolls! XDI have no idea what I'm going to call the thing yet, but I knew how I wanted to do the summary before I'd written word one. (Out-of-fandom reference that falls in exactly the right pattern to be incredibly appropriate.)Best part: Having someone on hand who is also conversant in the fandom and can help me spitball stuff.

Titles are the worst for me. After plotting. I can come up with scenes, but stringing things together in any sort of cohesive way? Crapshoot. But man, when stuff comes together, it's the best. Especially when you can stick in those easter eggs and you have someone to bounce things off off.
